Scaling laws in functional genome content across prokaryotic clades and lifestyles.

16 May 2009 For high-level functional categories that are represented in almost all prokaryotic genomes, the numbers of genes in these categories scale as power-laws in the total number of genes. We present a comprehensive analysis of the variation in these ... Read more...

Guidance for data collection and computational modelling of regulatory networks.

30 Dec 2008 Many model regulatory networks are approaching the depth of characterisation of bacteriophage lambda, wherein the vast majority of individual components and interactions are identified, and research can focus on understanding whole network function ... Read more...

Cas6 is an endoribonuclease that generates guide RNAs for invader defense in prokaryotes.

13 Dec 2008 An RNA-based gene silencing pathway that protects bacteria and archaea from viruses and other genome invaders is hypothesized to arise from guide RNAs encoded by CRISPR loci and proteins encoded by the cas genes. CRISPR loci contain multiple short ... Read more...
